Hey, I like Spam, I think it tastes good, but it's one of those things I hear people talk shit about pretty often. I've always been puzzled about this because conversely, I don't think I've ever heard people talk shit about hot dogs and we all kinda know what goes into making those.

I'm into spam but absolutely have to go for the low sodium variants cause I think it's way too salty otherwise. But really it's a great versatile food option and I would go in on some spam musubi pretty much whenever.

I think it's edible but that's about as far as I would go. There are also at least 10 different flavors of Spam, I've seen variants Tabasco and Garlic out there but have never tried them.

Spam isn't something I would buy or go out of my way to eat, but if it was there and I was hungry I'd go for it. Also, Jollibee has these little Spam sandwiches on sweet rolls that are pretty good. The sandwich is a slab of Spam, some mayo, and a roll. It tastes exactly like you expect it would, it's like a somewhat close approximation of a ham sandwich, but saltier.

Back when I used to eat meat, I thought spam was pretty good, the only thing that ever annoyed me was once and a while I'd take a bite and there would be some sort of minuscule but noticeable hard... thing, I don't know what. Just a noticeable tiny bit of grit. That always bugged me. Besides that, liked it.

Hell yeah, Spam is great. I dunno, when I grew up, kids (and people in general I guess...) used to joke about how it was shitty poor people food, so I hated it without even trying it because of the stigma. You know how those things go. Then, maybe a few years ago, my dad wanted me to pick some up from the store since he hadn't had it in ages. Got some and while I was cooking it for him, I had a little nibble, and fell in love with it.

Obviously, it's not like fine cuisine or some shit, but it's definitely good to me.

I'm a vegetarian, but even before that I wouldn't have touched Spam with a ten foot pole. It's presented as the least appetizing thing in the world. They need to get a new ad team on that project, stat.

Yeah, spam is awesome. Whenever I have it, it's usually with egg 'n' rice (a bowl of rice mixed with raw egg, sesame oil, and soy sauce). So kinda a mix of west and east cuisine.

There's this whole weird Canto-Western cuisine in Hong Kong. When I went as a kid, it was sort of comfort food to me as it was as close to American food as I was allowed to get when I was there. Fried spam, fried egg on rice with soy sauce and macaroni in tomato soup.

Spam is great when fried. Cut it thin so it crisps up just right and you've got a proper sandwich sized slice of bacon. I mean there is nothing wrong with spam it's simply pork shoulder meat that's too hard to cut into meaningful sizes. I'm actually happier that it's a thing instead of letting all that meat go to waste.

There again I'm one who typically enjoys processed meats, most have a nostalgic place in my heart (possibly a literally one too). I mean spam itself is quite tame, bigger question would be who enjoys eating Scrapple?

So I sometimes get drunk, and get some Hot and Spicy Spam. I open the lid, stick a fork riiiiight into the center, slide the goopy thang out, and then eat it like a lollipop, cold and dripping. This is my reality.
